Nice tool, does it not work for UK Trains / Tube?
Not for the moment, but if there is enough traffic from UK and the data are available I will add it.

#23Is anyone else getting simply wrong information?
I put in my work address and a time of one hour. It shows two of my previous home address as being over an hour away. It takes me about 40 - 50 minutes to get to work now from my current address. It took my about an hour from the other address.
Also, there needs to be a way to clear the map. Right now, I'm just overlaying times. I don't know if I'm just missing it on the UI but there needs to be a way to distinguish between adding more areas and replacing an area.

It looks like the bike functionality is only supported in France.

Looks like a slightly broken bat signal.

#26I like the idea - but it isn't working well for my location, at the base of a canyon in Utah, with mountains on 3 sides of me and a big lake on the 4th. It looks like it knows that there are canyons and roads and obstacles that need to be accounted for, but the spikes jutting out from my location don't follow the roads or terrain. FWIW, the site at: https://maps.openrouteservice.org/reach also fails to compute accura…
Seems you are a good test case. Could you share your map with the "share this map" button ? So I can figure it out

Yeah bicycle routes don't seem to work. It's sad I was really curious to see how far an hour route could take me!

Bicycle mode is only supported in France for the moment.

#29Service is down if you switch to French. Just so you know :-)
(Vous êtes basés à Toulouse ?)

Sure, it is shared at: https://oalley.net/map/b4e
If it helps, the 3 points going east are probably due to 2 canyons that do go east of town, one of which splits into 2 roads after a mile or so. And many of the others are similar in that, yes, there is a road that would extend your reach in those directions... but not quite where the map is drawing it. There are two areas that are complete anomalies: the path going NE through Springville and the one going SSW towards Levan have zero correlation with any reasonable roads - those both are flying straight over mountain ranges.
